-# XXX: FIXME: handle multiple '-f logfile' arguments
-#
-# XXX -- I HATE Perl!  This *will* be re-written in shell/awk/sed soon!
-#
-# $FreeBSD$
-
-# Usage:  log.pl [-u user] [[-m mailto] ...] [-s] -f logfile 'dirname file ...'
-#
-#	-u user		- $USER passed from loginfo
-#	-m mailto	- for each user to receive cvs log reports
-#			(multiple -m's permitted)
-#	-s		- to prevent "cvs status -v" messages
-#	-f logfile	- for the logfile to append to (mandatory,
-#			but only one logfile can be specified).
